The Battle Of Central Station

Great video, how about one about the battle of Brisbane in ww2?

Interesting historic tid-bit. I found it interesting that you would acknowledge the indigenous owners but didn't acknowledge the 60,000 young Australian's who died and 160,000 soldiers who were captured or injured in the Great War, my Grandfather being one of them. After all, they were fighting to protect the country and the traditional owners. When I was a little boy at Central Station with my grandfather, he pointed out the chip in the marble. It was one of only a few times he ever spoke about the war. He told me that some of his mates were involved in the incidents, they all died in the war. It's sad that these young men were remembered as hooligans when in fact they were only demanding better conditions. None of the young soldiers were under the impression that there was signing up for a holiday cruise or something glamorous. The horrors of the war in Europe were well known. It's sad that there isn't a small plaque to honour the young men who were only demanding better conditions, rather, history has forgotten them.

Thank you, Thank you for making this essential point. I'm the son of a WW2 veteran who served in PNG.

That wasn't in the history books. Didn't hear any rumours from old diggers about that either. Thanks for adding a bit more to my history knowledge
